> To some people, posting on a public facebook wall is likewise the digital equivalent of talking to someone at lunch in person. Where is the line?

This is what they think. In fact "posting on a public facebook wall" is equivalent to talking live on television.
I second this.
Similar experience with their interview process.
Also, if you ask for feedback, they stop answering.
Thing is, they still continue using the code even as they are complaining. Which is to say, they'd very much like the warranty so long as it's also free, but if it's not, they're willing to go without.
I am pretty sure Riot's kernel driver is not the first Windows kernel driver made by a Chinese company. Trying to sneak impression like that is a very good communication trick to deviate the discussion (to some national security cough cough..), but without evidence is not helpful.
The receipt check is to make sure you’re not over charged(charged more for accidental scans)
> they'll take your house

Yes, and they'll sell the house to cover the debt. But the amount they receive from selling the house in excess of the debt goes to you.

I.e. you'll get the equity portion.

It's in your mortgage contract. Worth reading.
Would like to take a moment to recommend fly.io for GPU workloads.

I've been building a prototype using them for the last couple of weeks and it's been great to use. I didn't have to jump through any hoops or apply for any quota adjustments to get started. And I especially appreciate how easy they make it to automatically scale your GPU instances to zero based on traffic.
No, they need to convince a large portion of society that it's good enough to allow. So far the arc of human history has shown this to be a difficult argument to make at scale and at length.
Show HN: Talm is like Helm but for Talos Linux
Hey Hacker News,

I just wanted to announce that I developed a new tool for managing Talos Linux.

Talm is just like Helm, but for Talos Linux.
Cant this be easily circumvented with a GPS spoofer app?
I think you mean "In response to Hamas, funded in part by the Likud administration, because the PLA was being increasingly seen as conciliatory and willing to seek diplomacy (who knows why, tiredness of conflict, Arafat growing more philosophical in his late life), which caused awkward questions of "if they are willing to negotiate, why isn't Israel?"."

Hamas was propped up by the hard right wing because they made a more visible enemy.

So, if Hamas is dedicated to "exterminating Jews" as you say, then why would Israel give them funding and support against the PLA?

Hamas is ~38,000 of 2.5M people. And thanks to those embargoes and blockades, they're the only ones who are really armed in Palestine.

> What are you doing if not trolling?

Not sure what to call it....~"Analysis of the logical & epistemic cognitive performance of Humans on Internet Message Boards"? Something like that I guess. I try not to overthink it and just have fun, makes the whole thing much more optimal at this stage, in my estimation.

> Do you think this is a competition?

I very much think of it like that. A video game analogy ("world building" genres like Sim City, etc) is extremely fitting.

> What do you think the prize is?

At the grand scale: the well being of Humanity.

> You do realize there's no audience here, right?

I am not able to "realize" that, because I have had extremely different training than you.

> No one is paying attention to this thread any more.

It isn't possible for you to know this. Do you even realize that? Like seriously, are you joking when you make these comments or what?

EDIT: I noticed something:

>> Implicitly declaring victory again are we? And if not: what is it that you are doing?

You didn't answer my question. That's weird.
Can confirm. I'm a pilot, and used to play Ingress pretty heavily, and while it's not the most reliable thing on the planet, a few of us had worked out "Planegress" pretty well. You have to be careful to not trip the "travel rate" limiters, so basically "pop online over the target area, and don't interact except over the target portal." Pilot plays around with slow flight (depending on winds aloft, in the range of 30-40mph ground speed), passengers do what needs to be done. I never messed with it, but some people used HAM radio equipment for remote connectivity for Ingress as well, or satellite based stuff.

But it's absolutely "an excuse to go do some precision ground reference slow flight in areas you wouldn't normally be."
I don't think so.

Swedes aren't WASPs, but we are this way. I think Spanish people and Germans are too. I agree that it is as you say in India, but surely both Indian-Americans and Asian-American must become a bit this other way, since they'll probably work with many WASPs, and surely they get affected by media and general societal expectations?

Polar fleece / polyester is far more durable and longer lasting than wool… a cheap polar fleece jacket will basically last forever, even if used roughly by kids for decades. But the fibers harden and it loses some of its softness and warmth. Wool is much nicer but no comparison in longevity… it chafes through quickly and is susceptible to moths.
Really heartening to see commenters in this thread concerned about plastic pollution! I have also tried to stopped buying clothes with plastic (polyester). Probably not our biggest environmental concern at the moment, but still might as well develop good habits of consuming in a way that minimizes my impact on the environment.
As I understand it, it is not about shrinkage but to make sure the customer is not overcharged or charged for items they did not buy.

DLLs preexist the iPhone by a long time. The implication of your argument is that Google is bankrupt because of F-Droid. Again, all of the big companies (Apple included) were shipping those things before the iPhone came along and blocked sideloading. In fact, those other companies still are provided those things (Apple included if you consider the mac). Some examples (non-exhaustive), since you are ignoring it:

Microsoft: Onedrive, VS, VScode, C#, Visual Basic, .NET (upto and including core), windbg, MSVC, Windows, Windows app stores, etc

Google: Dart, Go, Android Studio, Android, Google Drive, Google Play store & services, etc

Apple: xcode, objective-c, cocoa, llvm, lldb etc all preexist the iphone as well

The facts are:
1. Device owners should be able to install programs onto their phone without any interference from Apple.
2. Apple allowing this will not significantly affect their ability to remain profitable.
3. Most smartphone devices (Android) already do allow this.
Well. The partner staying home in the 1940s also rendered services to the family. Services that now need to be purchased from outside. So really, it’s always two people spending their waking hours. Only I suspect that in the 1940s, things were a little less stressed out. Judging from today’s bestseller lists and all those productivity and hack your body / marriage / x podcasts.
Not sure if you count insects into your moral calculus, but silk farming only involves caterpillars and mulberry trees. It's warmer, softer, lighter, and way less smelly than plastic, so it doesn't need as much washing, so less environmental impact. I can wear a silk t-shirt for about a week before it gets smelly, most of the time, whereas plastic shirts sometimes need to be washed twice after a single wearing to get the smell out!

The fibers are stronger than polyester, so if you get a thick silk fabric, it will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, it's absurdly expensive, so even though the total cost of ownership isn't terrible if you get a thick fabric because it will last forever, it's a ton of money up front. Additionally, most places sell super thin silk to keep the price down, which means it doesn't last, so you have to shop around and find the good thick stuff.

I love silkliving.com's 100% silk line, which even includes a fleece hoodie! I'm not associated with them other than as a satisfied customer that paid full price.
Google Docs is not worse. LibreOffice is sometimes worse for the reason already mentioned -- companies can't switch to it when they're locked in, but user base is the source of resources for improvement via support contracts, donations and code contributions.

I don't think there's any assumption, and later on he explores your point of view as well:

> The matter was not nearly as strange or metaphysical as I had been supposing. Where was I? In two places, clearly: both inside the vat and outside it. Just as one can stand with one foot in Connecticut and the other in Rhode Island, I was in two places at once.

But this also has problems that he gets into. If the brain and body are both "you", and one is destroyed, do you not exist anymore? Do you half exist? What if your brain gets a new body or your body gets a new brain, or both at the same time? I thought the whole point of this story was to challenge the assumption that your brain and body are both "you" by imagining different scenarios that make that difficult to believe, not to just assume it isn't true. I also didn't think it made any arguments or conclusions, it's just following an interesting thread and seeing where it leads. It's supposed to be thought-provoking, not persuasive.
Ironic. Keygens used to be how, as kids, we got around 14-day trials :)
I feel like I could soon be able to make some kind of free standing communistic enforcement bot that stockpiles and develops cyber weapons, then uses them to unilaterally fingerprint and police bad actors in an anonymous community. If they cause too much trouble, then the community bands together to nuke the bot. If it provides useful service, it is allowed to feed off the digital detritus of bad actors.
Good luck bro.

That's a nice ad hominem attack you've made there, but it isn't actually unreasonable to argue that Bitcoin and certain other currencies like it are not securities. Heck, even the SEC has said as much. It's even more reasonable to argue that things like NFTs are more like digital baseball cards than securities.
When done right, I appreciate that Traefik's config design meets the container config/run time split pretty well.

I also get that we're arguing TIMTOWDI vs YAGNI. So, I want to take a beat to say that I think your take is absolutely valid, but I'm coming at this from a place where flexibility isn't my primary concern. I'm usually more interested in tools that will reliably save me time, and that's a quality typically in opposition to flexibility.

For me, any tool that requires or permits multiple configuration planes to get off the ground threatens to be a time sink and a tax for an already packed schedule. This complexity usually requires the operator to absorb a lot of nuance, quirks, and idioms, which is something that's difficult to do quickly. Troubleshooting also grows in scope , again due to the complex design and multiple ways to set things up. Meanwhile, the most inflexible tools in my stack cause me the least trouble due to their simplicity: there's one way to do it, and if it's a common mistake, the answer is easily searched online.

In practice, looking to the Traefik community for support required decoding everyone's different take with varying degrees of CLI and config file involvement, sometimes fragmented across entire discussion threads (not to mention the v1/v2 problem). It made for a very time consuming troubleshooting run - something that would have been avoided by a more simple design like other tools use.
Not OP, but I've avoided those when possible too (except some company issued tees), etc.

Full cotton/wool are the best.
I don't think people understand how absurd egress costs are. I was talking with some people in game dev because im making a multiplayer game and i wanted to understand what my future costs would be. Bandwidth was #1 over compute.
I'm convinced almost nobody actually wants most of the connectivity, internet of shit things they're stuffing in appliances. But these companies shove this shit in because it makes them more money, then they brand it a "feature" that salespeople can use to differentiate the more expensive and newer models to unsuspecting customers. Basically that its more about there being a "new age connectivity extensibility productivity luxury feature" than exactly what that feature _is_.

Then, the manufacturers who have switched to building mostly iot crammed models trick themselves by attributing the change in sales to the specific feature they added (that nobody asked for, wants, or cares about) rather than the fact that that's all they make anymore and thus the only thing people can buy. And some VP makes a sideshow with graphs, gets applause, a nice Bonus and shot at the big wigs job. Some middle manager gets to take credit for "spearheading the development of market fit innovations in productivity and life balance synergy". People keep patting themselves on the back for making up useless bullshit and shoving it down our throats, then interpret their back pats as a signal to continue.

That's my theory anyway

Before resorting to Synthetics, you can use Cloudwatch to setup anomaly reporting on the load balancer. If your requests drop to 0 in 5/10/15 minutes, alert... If you have more than N 500s in 5/10/15 minutes, alert.

Synthetics are there to tell you when something outside of your provider is breaking your website, like routing errors, geo-related issues, CDN issues (assuming you're not using your provider's CDN).

Maybe I'm assuming levels of high functioning and healthy relationships that are unwarranted, but I read this article totally differently.

You're misunderstanding leadership roles, where there's very little 'work-life separation', only 'work-life balance'. You have immense freedom on your calendar, but you also frequently think about work when at home and understand that work can call you back at any hour. Depending on the type of org, you're reasonably likely to spend weekend time at meals or other activities with your coworkers, often with wives and kids along for the ride. Your coworkers are broadly agreeable but, if you had a serious personality clash, you probably wouldn't stick around for that long because such a living situation would become untenable.

In this context (and the remote work situation), his house is presumably a nice place for hosting, and 'come to my house to work on it' is the good-boss version of, 'well unfuck yourself and get back to me in a week with an answer, and it better be good.' It's inviting collaboration and focused time, and the CEO's responsible, agreeable coworker (author of the article) accepted that generous offer and made use of it.

>Also why do we base districts based on racial breakdown anyway?

This always felt like "treating the symptom, not the cause" approach to the problem. Voting district lines should always coincide with county lines. There should be some rules about the allowable shapes (no string of counties running East to West for 200 miles for example) of these districts. That would give representation that reflects the population. Taxes, governance, etc. are county driven in many (most) states, why not add electoral boundaries that match?

> My go to line here is that Cloud was a ZIRP. Like the whole entire thing. Took us ~10 years to wind up the cloud, and it will take years to unwind it, but the mass migration away is already happening.

This is Hacker News echo chamber stuff. There is certainly no mass migration away from the cloud. Yes, I personally saw companies in the 2010s say "we're moving everything to the cloud!" without adequate planning or cost analysis and then saying "OK, everyone off the cloud" once they got an insane cloud bill.

But cloud costs can be managed, and for many, many companies the cost of hiring people to manage all this infrastructure and services is usually way more than a well-managed cloud project. Also, the canonical rationale I see on HN for moving away from the cloud is "I can just rent a box for $X/month". If all you're using the cloud for is a dumb, static set of compute, I agree that you can probably do it cheaper on your own. I know hardly any companies (from small startups to large enterprises) who use the cloud that way.

>We find that the majority of respondents (56%) are not willing to pay to be exempted from mandatory masking. However, the average person was willing to pay $525, and a small segment of the population (0.9%) stated they were willing to pay over $5,000 to be exempted from the mandate.

This methodology is clearly flawed because the penalty for not masking in the US was zero (other than social scorn, which paying for exemption likely would not remove anyway). No city was arresting nor fining people for not masking. Thus, it's pretty irrational to pay any amount.

It would be much more interesting to run this survey in China where mandates were strictly enforced.
